Welcome to the group!
Hello I have a Lap Band since June of 2011, I struggle many days with the next best thing to eat. Get tired of searching for those foods that are Bariatric friendly. Not a big fan of "pouch" suppliments and do use protein powder. Thought this would be a good start! Thanks for checking out the new group! Gary

NERVOUSLY EXCITED - introduction
